The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will likely take place in Skyrim. The announcement of a November 11th, 2011 release was made by Todd Howard at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards. The game will be released worldwide on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Games for Windows (PC) platforms. The trailer can be viewed here, along with a click-and-drag version of the stone wall featured in the trailer.

A tweet from Bethesda Community Manager Nick Breckon stated, "We can now confirm that the TES V: Skyrim engine is all-new. And it looks fantastic." A followup answer stated that the engine was "a new graphics/gameplay engine built internally" and that more details would be forthcoming.

[edit] Timeline
The events of Skyrim takes place 200 years after the events of Oblivion. A 1up.com post states that the first Elder Scrolls novel "partly bridges the gap for the next game, which is set 200 years after the Oblivion crisis." The retail site from which this information came quickly removed the reference to the next Elder Scrolls game from its listing; it is unknown whether this is due to a factual error or if the retail site accidentally leaked information that was meant to be released at a later date.

[edit] MMO Elder Scrolls
Speculation about a MMORPG (Mass Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) that takes place in the TES universe was begun due to ZeniMax's press release regarding the formation of a new company, ZeniMax Online Studios. This rumor gained some credibility after ZeniMax bought the domain name elderscrollsonline.com. Currently, the site has no content. Bethesda's Pete Hines announced in an interview with Gamespot that this was simply to prevent someone from registering the domain name in case they needed it (i.e. fallout.com & oblivion.com). Hines stayed quiet regarding Zenimax Online Studios, saying, "They aren't talking about what they are doing and won't be for a long time."

ZeniMax are known to have licensed the HeroEngine MMORPG development tool for "a stealth project". ur article here.
